There is great grief at Brown University.
The committee of the faculty on athletics
have decided in favor Of reporting to the
whole faculty that the college base ball nine
be ordered to withdraw from the American
Collegiate Association. The committee does
not object to the students playing base ball,
but they say the sport is degenerating into
professionalism on account of the practice of
engaging men to play on college mines who
have no actual connection with the co llege.
The students offer compromise, agreeing
to retire from the Association at the end of
the season, unless the cause of the faculty's
opposition is removed, on condition that they
be allowed to play until its close. The fac
ulty's position is well taken. The college
nine should be composed of actual members
of the college. The organization and main
tenance of base ball clubs in our colleges can
only be defended on the ground that they tend
to benefit the students physically, and thus
indirectly contribute to the attainment of the
real purpose of the college which is intelIec-
tual development. Base ball should be a
means and notIan end. When nine is hired
1t becomes an end, and in that character is
utterly indensible in our institutions of
learning.

The landlord of the Bay State House of
Worcester was arraigned.in the police court
of that city last week on charge of furnish
ing liquor Illegally to committee Of the Leg
islature while on visit to the insane asylum
In that city last February. Worcester voted
against license last spring, and the sale of
liquor by anybody there even to a
committee of the General Court on an official
visit to State institution is illegal. This
prosecution was brought by the Secretary Of
the No-License League. Two members of
the committee and the messenger of 1t were
put upon the stand by the prosecution, but
they proved very dull witnesses. One of the
senators admitted having liquor in his room,
but did not have the slightest idea how II
came there. The messenger asked the land
lord 70 sell him some Basis ale, and the
landlord told him that he might yet accom-

DR.. Holt, distinguished physician:,of
Louisiana. has in recent report impressed
upon the legislature Of that State the duty
OF establishing hospital for lepers. 1t ap-
pears that this disease exists in three par
ishes in the State, and though the cases are
notmany it is likely to be propogated and
continued indefinitely if the persons afflicted
with the disease are allowed to intermarry
as at present. DR.. Holt thinks hospital
should BIO established Immediately in which
the lepers may be confined and treated.

DUTY OF THE MINISTRY.

Whenever the spirit of religion ,breathes
upon the dry bones of worldliness, the
strength and beauty and renoyating energy
of life begin to show themselves. Never was
the work of the ministry more difficult than
it is to-day; never was it more highly hon
ored among men, If only it be carried on in
the spirit of self-sacrifcing devotion. The
some lower work, no matter how much he
may win the applause of men, has failed in
his true vocation, and fallen short of the re-
ward, offered to labor based upon faith in
eternal veritiss, and pursued in the gentle
and gracious spirit of the master.

In Georgia, Arbor day is observed in No
yember. This is done for the reason that in
Georgia the autumn is considered the best
time for the celebration, and also, which is
more urgent reason, because trees planted
at that time flourish better than those set out
in the spring. The summer droughts of
Georgia are often too much for trees that are
put with wounded roots into new soil at Just
the season when they are putting forth their
leaves. So while we observe Thanksgiving
the Georgians plant their trees.

Lewis, who introduced the motion that
has knocked the wind out of the Salisbury
government, is an Orangeman, from Ulster
County. The government made him baro-
net to soothe his feelings which had been
injured by his defeat by Justin Mccarthy.
He is conceited, clustering ignoramus,
who thought he had a mission to perform. 1t
turns out that he was right though the mission
proved of very different kind from what he
expected. 1t is safe to prophecy that for the
future the Tories will be very shy of Lewis.
His is blunderbuss that kicks.

The Parnell letter, like the Morey letter,
made its appearance right on the eve of an
election, and was used for all that it was
worth to influence that election. 1t was
day or twosbefore Taunton was to elect
member of Parliament that the Times pub
nshed the letter and the district was flooded
with it. This is another circumstance that
tends to show that the letter was concocted
by somebody, perhaps by Pigott as the Lin
coin, Nebraska, experts who have examined
his handwriting think. Piggott is a traitor to
the Irish cause and has shown himself cap
able of infamy as deep as this.

The new civil service reform rules contain
clause requiring all applicants for promo
tions who fail in examination after six
months to be examined again, and if they then
fall, to be reported to the heads of depart
ments to be dismissed or reduced to lower
grade. This rule If impartially enforced will
have tendency to keep the clerks UP to the
mark, and if there are any drones in the de-
partments who are there simply because they
had influential friends, they will be likely to
get ticket Of leave. 1t is easy to see that
dishonest board of examiners might take
advantage Of this rule to clean out Republic
cans, but the principle of civil service reform
is now so firmly established, and SO many
are watching to see that it is honestly en-
forced that trickery of that sort would soon
be discovered, and would most certainly
bring disaster to the men who were priyy to
1t and the administration that should tolerate
them.

The coming summer will be remarkable in
Europe for the general naval maneuyres.
Not only are France and England arranging
for practice drills on large scale, but Ger
many will gather all her available naval
forces together and will make specially
strong show in torpedo boats and small craft
In the waters of happy America, on the
other hand, the most famous maneuvres
will be the fitting of swift yachts in summer
seas-the most venturesome undertaking an
ocean race of two clipper ships from New
York around Cape Horn to San Francisco.
This prediction applies of course only to SO
much OF the coast as lies south and west of
Eastport. Beyond that however, in the
melancholy lfogs of Funday and along the
island coasts, the blank shots of the Domi-
MON cruisers will scare the fishes, while the
Bluenose skipper iimagines himself more
important than the captain of Benbow.
